Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A new earthquake-resilient design is proposed for a 10-story building. Describe the steps you would take in performing a pushover analysis on this structure.

💡 Hint: Which initial parameters will guide your analysis?

Question 2

An engineer finds that a mid-rise building's capacity curve displays significant stiffness degradation after reaching a certain displacement. What are the implications of this result for the building's seismic performance?

💡 Hint: Think about how this degradation affects the overall safety of the structure.
